For whatever reason I have 5 gallons of band-aid brew. I still have the yeast sitting in the fermzilla with C02. Can this be washed and re-used without producing more phenols, or should I assume the yeast is infected? I'm not sure if it's infection or wild yeast that caused the bandaid flavor. I'll probably just spring for another $7 bag, but just for posterity sake (and yes, I used the search function).
Thanks!
 
Figured as much, thanks. As for chlorine, I've been using campden tablets for a while - this was honestly just a one-off. Not sure what happened, but guessing a contamination which is also a first for me!
